The role and efficacy of activated carbon

Activated carbon is something that we see very often in our daily lives, but it is mostly used in water purification. In fact, activated carbon has high use value in many aspects. For example, it can absorb odors, etc. Activated carbon actually has many other functions. If you want to have a full understanding of the effects of activated carbon, please read the following article in detail to learn about the effects of activated carbon.

1. The role and efficacy of activated carbon

Activated carbon is also called activated carbon black. It is amorphous carbon in black powder or granular form. Let us now understand the role of activated carbon. Activated carbon has a strong "physical adsorption" and "chemical adsorption" effect, which can adsorb certain organic compounds to achieve the removal effect. Activated carbon is now widely used in car or indoor air purification. Activated carbon is a porous carbon-containing substance. Its developed pore structure gives it a large surface area, so it is easy to fully come into contact with toxic and harmful gases in the air. The strong adsorption field around the activated carbon pores will immediately absorb the toxic gas molecules into the pores, so activated carbon has extremely strong adsorption capacity.

2. The main uses of activated carbon

1. New rooms: Used to absorb toxic and harmful gases such as formaldehyde, benzene, ammonia and radon in the air of new rooms and those continuously released into the air, and quickly remove odors from decoration.

2. New furniture: used to absorb formaldehyde, benzene and various odors continuously released by new furniture.

3. Wardrobes, bookcases, shoe cabinets: deodorizing, detoxifying, dehumidifying, insect repelling, deodorizing, sterilizing, preserving calligraphy and paintings, etc.

4. Bathroom: deodorize, sterilize and refresh the air.

5. Floor: removes odor, prevents moisture, mildew, and insects, and protects the floor from deformation.

6. Automobile: absorbs all kinds of harmful gases in new cars and all kinds of odors in old cars.

7. Computers, household appliances, etc.: absorb and reduce the harm of radioactive gases to humans.

8. Offices, hotels and other public places: purify the air and eliminate odors.

3. The role of medicinal activated carbon

The biggest feature of medicinal activated carbon is its fast decolorization speed and strong adsorption capacity. It can effectively adsorb pigments in medicines and reduce impurities in medicines without affecting the concentration and medicinal properties of other ingredients in the medicines.
